Quiet, please!

Hi everyone! I’m the second guest blogger (*waves to EastSide Eddie*) that’s covering for Regina while she is on vacation in the beautiful Mayan Riviera. I hope she’s having a mango margarita for me!

Regina introduced me in her last post before leaving, and she mentioned that I am deaf. This is relevant as for my inaugural Sex Drive Daily post, I’d like to discuss “the deaf perspective” a little by sharing a funny anecdote.

Recently, I was shopping at Good Vibrations(NSFW) in the Mission District of San Francisco. It’s a great store – they have a large selection of items, and have “tester” versions of almost all their products so you can see how they feel, how strong they vibrate, etc. I was in the market for a new vibrator, and you see, I have certain special needs when shopping for a vibrator. I have roommates, and their bedroom is right next to mine, and they aren’t deaf, and I have no way of judging exactly how loud anything is. Thankfully, the staff at Good Vibrations are the best people to assist one with these kinds of issues. I explained to the saleslady that I was looking for a quiet vibrator, and showed her the Rabbit Pearl(NSFW) that I was interested in. “Oh no, way too loud,” she said. She showed me a few other quieter models, such as the Laya(NSFW), the Femblossom(NSFW), and the Dolphin(NSFW). She also mentioned that the Wahl 2-Speed Body Massager, which is good for direct clitoris stimulation, was extremely quiet.

I ended up going with the Laya and the Wahl 2-Speed, and took them home and explained to my roommates that I’d specifically asked for quiet toys. We did a test with us in our respective bedrooms, and I turned each toy on one at a time, and they confirmed that they didn’t hear anything. It’s good to have that peace of mind – how are you going to relax and enjoy yourself if you’re worrying about other people hearing what you’re doing in the privacy of your bedroom?
